We send more email notifications than ever, and more of those are opened than ever (about 90% of all emails we send are opened and read).
Everything has it's time though. As soon as this place cannot financially support itself and people choose not to donate... it's done. Right now we get enough donations to keep us ahead by a month or so... and whilst quite a few people have stopped donating, a load more new people are donating. This is a good metric... because money is a great indicator of whether people value the existence of the forum... and they do.
All this being said... the core is stronger.
